Trail

Hi,

Morning rain, sunny afternoon, and not a forecast in sight. The rainy season is very unpredictable, except to say that you can count on rain. (555)

There must be a problem with email in America because I only got one response. My brother Denny knew this one. Here's the chorus. Maybe that will help: "The sailors say, '__, you're a fine girl. What a good wife you would be. But my life, my lover, my lady is the sea'." Clue: The name of the group is synonymous with a telescope. Yesterday's hint should have been enough. Hmm.

This morning we had a storm that was so heavy, all the lawns were flooded. The front yard looked like a lake. I don't think the ground has had time to recover from the last rain. In addition, the drain tubes embedded in the lawn are probably clogged. It all makes for a strange and eerie sight. By late afternoon it was fine, and the dogs could run around and play.

The workers came to cut the concrete on the deck this morning. Somehow there was a communication breakdown. Oh really? Not only did they think they were going to tear up the entire deck, they didn't follow the plan on the depth of the cut. It was less than half the depth we asked for. They'll be coming back tomorrow to discuss the mistake. I caught the first part of the 'breakdown' just as a young man was bringing a jack-hammer into the back yard. That could have been disastrous.

We have a tall tree in the back that hasn't filled out yet, but it has just enough foliage at the top for a nest. When we're in the pool we usually watch the happenings with the parents, and their nest. They take turns sitting on the nest, and it must be built pretty strong to have withstood the recent downpours. I'm sure we'll know when the chicks hatch. Oh, nature.

Tomorrow it's off to Mae Sai, early in the morning for our visa renewal. I'm visualizing sunny sky, and dry highway.

Have a Happy Tuesday.

Peace,
Danny
